There’re many web-based email service providers that you can use, but having a mailbox with your own personal domain will grant you more credibility if you are running a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, you won’t face such problems and you will be able to use any program on your PC to access your email messages, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even set up an email account on your mobile phone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded on your computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
With a Linux cloud web hosting from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software app to access your emails. We support the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, so you can select either one of them when you set up an email account in accordance with your own preferences. To make things easier, you can download a small configuration file from your Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you create. You can easily set up the latter with your desired app by simply running that file on your PC. This option is an alternative to our webmail and the two email services go hand in hand, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the particular mailbox is configured.
